Attention Beverly Manor Parent(s)/Guardian(s), Due to current circumstances, we will be making all report cards for grades 4-8 available via Skyward instead of mailing them home. We will actually use this policy moving forward so that parents have quick access to report cards regardless of sickness, school closures, etc. The 3rd Quarter report cards will be available on Skyward Friday, March 19th by 3:00 pm or sooner. If you need your login, please email jsale@d50schools.com or cmsharp@d50schools.com for password access. We also have some great news to announce as well! Beverly Manor has 239 out of 388 students on the Honor or Merit Roll! That is 62% of our students. Nice job, Wildcats! *If you are in need of a paper copy of the report card, please email jsale@d50schools.com or cmsharp@d50schools.com. Thank you!
